1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains
[edit]
- ... that on this day 200 years ago, Australian explorers returned from the first successful colonial expedition to cross the Blue Mountains (illustrated)?
- Comment: Can we get this on the front page on June 6 - to be able to use this more potent hook?

- Article is big enough and new enough, moving into article space. There is no obvious duplication of content. Correct people credited. If you use on this day, it belongs in another section on the front page, so I expect a different hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

This looks good, but there's no citation for the expedition concluding on 6 June. Nick-D (talk) 06:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review User:Nick-D. I've added an inline ref for that. --99of9 (talk) 06:57, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Please can someone consider putting this in preparation area 2? That will be the ideal time for Australian readers to see it on the anniversary. Thanks. 99of9 (talk) 22:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
